View Full Version : Must Consider Johnson / Sampi PSD!

The hawks must consider Mark Johnson and Ash Sampi. Sampi for obvious reasons, was an exceptional onballer at under 18 level and proven to be a very good forward at the weagles. Granted he has had some issues, but lets not put the hawks above anyone else with thinking that people cant change, especially now that he understands what he must do if he wants football to be his career.
Johnson would be an excellent fit for the young side. Similar to hardwick going to Port adelaide and helping them get their flag. He can play back middle or fwd, has 3 years left in him and would be invaluable to the hawthorn side with his tackling pressure.
Lets not get on our high horse about players not being worthy to play at hawthorn because of age or mental health issues. We have won nothing since 1991, and if we can get good quality talent into our mix then we should be doing all we can to pursue it. As mark my words, those that know about football, will know, the hawthorn list as it currently stands, WILL NOT WIN A PREMIERSHIP!! It still needs greater talent base and an improved structure.

this thread deserves a three course meal served up by roughie..........
Sampi would be a waste of time IMO. And I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I would be violently ill if sniper Johnson was recruited. Just say no!

An Essendon supporter who has cleverly disguised their identity by referring to HFC as "we".....Ohh those bombers fans, they are a clever bunch.
As for Johnson and Sampi.....No and No, next.

Johnson no, if his kicking skills aren't good enough to crack a bottom 4 team (for the last 3 yrs) I fail to see how he fits in especially with guys like birchall,guerra,brown,ladson,murphy,osborne, playing very similar roles.
Sampai I wouldn't get him but if the HFC were convinced and had the info I don't have then maybe.
Dew could be worth a punt. All depends on his weight/commitment.
Myer, was he even delisted by the tigers?

It would be good to keep Johnson involved in some capacity, though perhaps not in brown and gold. I was at the second bombers game with my bombers mate, and every time I yelled "get Johnno into the game", we scored. Maybe we could employ him to run around the boundary like a muppet
This is why you support Essendon. Unlike your lot, we preffer to not draft washed up hacks in the PSD. Sampi = Krakour, Krakour = Poo, Poo = Essendon, thus we dont want him.
Im sorry there is no need for Johnson any where in our team, and I think Sampi is over rated for all the talk he gets about him. A 1 mark wonder who has now fell behind forwards like LeCras, Rosa, Nickoski, even Chick. He is poo and wont do a thing at any clubs

TO all you high horses....apologies about my team listed, my son put it in when I was registering, mark my words I am a long time hawthorn supporter. If the moderators would get back to me to change it I would.
Now on the topic. Just because you follow hawthorn does not mean you cannot have a football opinion and understand how players from other clubs could benefit your list. I read many hawthorn posts saying no not him, he is a hack, he is this and that, as though we have won the last 5 premierships and everyone is busting to get into our side. Thats why I stated we have won nothing for 16 years, and Judd not wanting to come and not even wanting to talk to us proves a few things. If you think osborne and co. are as good as mark johnson we are kidding ourselves. like saying dawson will be as good as fletcher, or glass. Fact is on johnson, he has been there and done it, your not rating potential your rating results. Johnson is a better player than guerra before he came into our system yet we accept him with open arms. Same as hardwick yet we all admire him for what he has brought to us. Plenty of sides have travelled the path we are currently on and come away with nothing, I just hope we dont fall into that trap. And please, get your head out you A&se, all clubs have made mistakes at the PSD, dont get me started on the ones we have picked up over the years, we could list a heap.:thumbsu:

The thing is our club has only delisted people, leaving us with three draft picks. We cant take anyone in the PSD anyway. And only delisting a little number, and using the least ammount of draft picks we ever have in our rebuilding process reflects on where our team is at. Its full of youth and it is ready to develop the players we have.
Johnson has 2 years left max in him, and were not in a position to top up yet. Drafting him and paying the salary he asked for while holding out a kids spot to develop is a waste. Johnson was loved at Essendon and there is a reason he was shipped off, its because he is over the hill. I liked the way he went about it in his prime, but unfortunatly those days are gone, esspecailly after Ess tried to trade him and couldnt get a bite at all.
If we were contending for a premiership and needed a good defensive type forward then yeah I would go for him. But at the moment we have too many kids still to debut, and Johnson is pretty worthless now.

Kids and their greedy little fingers.....but it really isnt that hard, even a nuff like me can figure out you go into my big footy and edit your profile from there, then again maybe im just more talented than i realise.
Back on topic, i just wanted to make reference to a few comments. Firstly, lets not try and draw some sort of connection between Judd not wanting to come here due to our poor on field performances over the last 16 years, fact of the matter is he was in it for the money, if he was in it for on field success he wouldnt be running off to carlton now would he.
Secondly, as you have stated, Johnson has been there done that, and that was quite a few years ago, the fact of the matter is Guerra and Johnson are light years apart, the reason Guerra was drafted by Hawthorn is because he still has a number of years left in him where Johnson does not.
Also, yes we have made mistakes with our drafting in the past, all clubs do, lets not add to that list of mistakes by considering the likes of Sampi or Johnson in the upcoming draft.
Regardless of who you support, it's plain for all to see that Sampi and Johnson's time has passed them by.
We do not need to top up with average players.
This thread is a joke.

Hawthorn ,but I think he's training at Melbourne. If you folks can't say

I think I agree with Johnson, but Sampi is only 23 and probably hasn't achieved his potential. I also think he was pretty good on his day, and is above average on talent!

i think most clubs would want a fit sampi
but melb looks like it will take him early in the psd, i dont think anyone will risk a draft pick on him in nov, because if he has a xmas bender he will never be fit
so i dont think he will reach the hawks
as for johnson, he will be good value and probably at port or freo

I know he's had some private problems but has resolved them he's young
and has a massive carreer in front of him. Yep Melbourne will probably be the lucky or should I say smart ones. We'll all remember this discussion won't we?

Good call Robber.
Sampi is 23 and worth a shot however i dont think we have a chance of getting him as he has stated he will play for minimum wages and that will interest other clubs who have a pick in front of us.
He has suffered depression and if Kennett can assist with his recovery with Beyond Blue it would be a great fit for our club.
Imagine this
H.F Franklin Thorp or Boyle Hodge/Lewis/Crawf whoever is resting
F.F Williams Roughead Sampi.:thumbsu:
M.J no way...30+ and has a body that has been punished over the years and also has poor foot skills. He will not fit our structure.

If you want either of them you had better come up with another player you want off the list. We have room for our manditory 3 ND picks and that is all at this stage. So if you want either of them put down someone you want them to replace on our list.
bigbol069
1 Nov 2007, 12:09
Sampi or Clarke, Osborne, Dawson? At least Sampi still has the potential to become something unlike those other three who will stay at the same level of ability and serve their purpose adequately until we find better replacements and trade or delist them in a year or two. Sampi is still young and could become anything, as you can when you are a pick 6 in the draft.
Hawthorns plan for next year by the looks is to stay young and keep the group together so Johnson will be a no, as will Dew, though Dew would be more likely due to his age.
Remembering also that in order for us to pick up any one of these guys we would need to delist one more senior player before final list allocation after the National draft. By promoting McEntee, we have pretty well ensured that we won't be active in the pre-season draft. I don't think there is one guy on our list now that doesn't deserve a chance in '08 so all this talk is pretty much just that.. talk.. it won't happen.

I think you're wrong on this point. Johnson was shipped off as Essengone had to make a statement. They're currently copying Hawthorn and moving off a lot of older players whether they're better than the next guy or not.
Johnson is a hell of a player and would make a handy forward line player. So i agree with Jarman03. He's been brilliant at Essendon over the last few years, but has had a big job to do with little support.
Anyone know what he's asking for $$ wise and how many years??

I appreciate that back in his day Johnson was a handy player for the Bombers, having said that it is plain for all to see that at 30 years old he doesnt fit the youth policy implemented by AC and Pelchin. His disposal is below par, which Pelchin has identified as being an extremely important element in present and future recruiting and he has also suffered his fair share of injuries, as to be expected for someone of his age.
As for Sampi, well maybe im being biased because i never really rated him, even in his "prime" at the eagles. I prefer recruiting consistency over a magician like Sampi, who puts on a spectacular display for 10 minutes and then disappears for the next 3 quarters or so. Apart from anything else, we dont have a psd pick at present, and even if we did it would seem highly unlikely we could snare Sampi with pick 12 or 13 or whatever it is we have.

I disagree this season was one of his worst to date. He only kicked 7 goals from 20 games, and dont think he would do a thing in our forward line besides give away free kicks.
Sampi will be 24 next year coming into his prime, I just cant see him at all in our team.
By the way, has everyone forgot we dont have a pick to use in the PSD? So essentially this thread is useless unless we delist some one by the final list lodgement which looms unlikely

Why would we take Mark Johnson, Smith was a better player and he got told he was no longer needed because he didnt have a spot in the team, Johnson wouldnt be in our best 22 either. Waste of a pick
A fit sampi is a brilliant player, ild be more then happy to give him a go on the Rookie List.
Hawks don't have a pick in the PSD.

Call me crazy, but i would pick up one fit Stewie Dew and delist Osbourne. Both are similar types, both would only be on the list for another 3 years max but stewie has the more talent is a premiership player and has a penetrating kick.

I dont think they are alike at all. Stewie was more of a pure lead forward with no defensive capabilities. Where as Osbourne is a defensive forward with no goal kicking capabilities. Ossie is more versatile of a player.

Sorry but the OP is a complete spastic! We could always get Johnson, make him look really good for a season then offload him to North for there pick 1??
Sampi has more go than Johnson the fag but he is a bit too volatile and could go walkabout mid season ala Andrew Walker of the Brumbies/Wallabies.
Jarman03
1 Nov 2007, 14:29
Some good disussion here. Ok we all realise we would nee dto delist someone to even have a pick in the PSD.
What is embarrassing is to think that any one of smith, clarke, osborne, dawson plus another half dozen on our list are as good as either of Dew and Johnson. We are talking about premiership players here, who have been to the top of the mountain, how many finals have our guys played in or proven they can play in. I bet johnno and dewy would laugh if compared to these other players. Luckily smith has now been moved on, served a purpose but stick to facts, the other two have delivered on grand final day, none of our guys have. Lets not also forget that goo got the flick from the same side that dew played in a premiership with.
Take everyones point about the long term future of the club, but like a few guys are saying, we have players on our list now that essentially wont improve it going fwd, they may play another 20 30 games until more talent comes along or is developed, but gee we have a chance to snag some talent that will actually improve our talent base. All I say is lets assess it. The draft, trading, salry cap ensure that as proven this year with both grand finalists coming frmo outside the 8, football remains a year to year proposition. IF you get stuck building, thats all you end up doing.
Also, Sampi is actually an onballer, just couldnt break into the midfield ahead of judd, kerr, cousins, fletcher, embley and braun. Not many would.

If we get Sampi i would be happy. If we don't get Sampi (but had the chance)i would be happy.
Because if we get him we know that he must be committed and A.C and his boys would be sure that he would do well.
And if we don't get him then we did not waste our time on a lazy palyer.

The hawks must consider Mark Johnson and Ash Sampi. Sampi for obvious reasons, was an exceptional onballer at under 18 level and proven to be a very good forward at the weagles. Granted he has had some issues, but lets not put the hawks above anyone else with thinking that people cant change, especially now that he understands what he must do if he wants football to be his career.
Johnson would be an excellent fit for the young side. Similar to hardwick going to Port adelaide and helping them get their flag. He can play back middle or fwd, has 3 years left in him and would be invaluable to the hawthorn side with his tackling pressure.
Lets not get on our high horse about players not being worthy to play at hawthorn because of age or mental health issues. We have won nothing since 1991, and if we can get good quality talent into our mix then we should be doing all we can to pursue it. As mark my words, those that know about football, will know, the hawthorn list as it currently stands, WILL NOT WIN A PREMIERSHIP!! It still needs greater talent base and an improved structure.
I consider Mark Johnson. I consider him a soft **** bully boy washed up slow has been whose career is over.
Bring it on! We can form a lynch mob. :rolleyes:
You're the coolest
He wouldn't make our top 30 let alone our top 22. Was washed up 3 years ago.
Smith is a much better player than Johnson and was for most of his career. Johnson was a thug when the Bombers had genuinely tough players, now they're gone, he's nothing.
Not many people saw the roundhouse he gave Piccione in the line in the sand game while he was on his arse. That IMO started the all in, just before the Bateman incident.

Under no circumstances must we consider Sampi and Mark Johnson.
Sampi has shown he is mentally unstable. We need team players and not unreliable people who have shown a disposition to mid season disappearance. That would have a poor effect on the strength of the team. And Sampi would get away with it because he is an aboriginal.
Johnson on the other had is just a very average player and and old one at that. He has been a long standing enemy of our club. He wouldnt contribute a thing. Zero skills and zero leadership. Always been an ordinary player and Sheedy just played him because of his hardness. Our side is full of hard nuts (take note Schwab and Dicker you weak apologist pig filth) and thus Johnson would contribute nothing.

Who says Sampi is mentally unstable?
Pretty stupid to suggest it.
And what does the fact that he is of aboriginal background have to do with it?
That is racism that takes us back to the 1950's.
Have a think before you post nonsense.
